13 Your Angel

The wind had formed wings on Hoseok's back and with the sun shining over him; he really did look like an angel in the sky. His wind wings allowed him to hover and look over all the competitor's that charged at him. They all stared up in shock.

Hun-cheol, Ikje, Yoongi and Namjoon all stood up and gaped in awe at the Battle Mage floating mid air. They didn't expect this Underground Battle Mage to be so terrifyingly powerful.

Hitman Bang looked at the floating Battle Mage and nodded his head. He was excited at the potential of this young Battle Mage. It was clear that he was powerful, and he couldn't wait to see exactly how powerful this young Adept would be.

Up in the sky, Hoseok looked over the battlefield. He could see that many of the Battle Mages were still fighting while others stared at him in shock. Hoseok smiled as he put his daggers back in their sheaths and raised his arms. Wind began to swirl around them. The wind began speeding up faster and faster around his arms until they looked like they were large gauntlets on his arms. He then did a nose dive. Flying straight down towards those underneath. When he landed, he thrust his fists into the ground. As he did, the wind surged of his arms into the ground and then it exploded out.

A powerful wind pushed all those that had charged in and pushed them all out. The lucky few that hadn't reached him were only slightly affected and were just hit with the force from Hoseoks area attack. Those that were close, however, weren't as lucky. They were torn up and cut by the powerful winds as well as thrown out of the field completely, eliminated. But Hoseok didn't end his attack there.

His wings propelled him forward, weaving through the remaining competitors. Hitting them with such a strong and powerful force, their defences were simply crushed by his power. He seemed to be enjoying himself as he completely dominated the battlefield; no one seemed to be able to hold a candle to him.

There was a group of competitors' that were on the other side of the battlefield. They had come together earlier on and had taken out quite a number of people. But compared to Hoseok, they paled in comparison. But now it was just them left. Hoseok was hovering above the ground, supported by his wind wings. He looked over at the group off to the side. They were a lot stronger than the other competitors, Hoseok could tell that at first glance.

The group looked at each other and all nodded in agreement. They all charged towards Hoseok. He smiled in response and rushed forward as well. He started moving faster and faster, picking up speed. Just as the group and Hoseok were about to reach, Hoseoks wings seemed to expand and explode.

Hoseok was then sent flying forward at an incredible speed. He flew straight into one of the Battle Mages, and just took him as he went straight past the rest of the Battle Mages. Hoseok landed behind the group, and the Battle Mage he collided with kept going, flying out of the field and into a tree. Namjoon couldn't believe what he was watching. This guy's fighting style is so strong and sharp. He pinpointed a single member and took him out in an instant.

Hoseok turned rushed into the group while they were still figuring out what happened. He hit one of the Battle Mages in the chest. Wind surged out of his fist and pushed the Battle Mage away. One of the Battle Mages was able to react and created rocks over his fists and tried to punch Hoseok. Hoseok simply manoeuvred past his arm, countering with a shoulder under his arm and then an elbow into his gut.

The other Battle Mages all turned and tried to attack as well. Wind began to surge around Hoseok's arm again. A Battle Mage wielding a blade charged at him. Hoseok used his left hand to grab one of his daggers as he raised his arm to the blade. The wind was moving around his arm at such a speed that it created a barrier that shielded his arm, and Hoseok used it to deflect the oncoming blade. As he parried the attack, he responded with his own. He slashed at the Battle Mage with his dagger, cutting him and then wind sent him flying backwards.

Hitman was shocked to see how effective the blades Hoseok were using. He began excitedly thinking to himself.

'Are those his own Synergy Weapons?"

Synergy Weapons were powerful thing for a Battle Mage. Synergy Crystals were created for Battle Mages by a Weapon Smith and would then be merged and stored within a Synergy Weapon. The Synergy Crystal would then allow the Synergy Weapon to display different attacks and allow the Adept to reach new heights with their powers. There were Standard Synergy Weapons for Adepts to use, but the strongest ones were made by the Adepts themselves. Having a thorough understanding of yourself and your power, you would be able to make a Synergy Weapon perfectly suited for you.

Hitman Bang was surprised to see someone so young already have his own Synergy Weapon. He must have a thorough understanding of a Battle Mage's power. He was being constantly surprised today by the power of these young Adepts.

Hoseok then pulled out his other dagger and rushed at the remaining Battle Mages. He dodged a Battle Mage's fist covered in ice and struck him in the head with a wind powered punch, knocking him out. He sensed a shift in the wind around him and leaped backward as a blade came slicing down where he was just standing. The wind pushed him forward as he jumped and kicked the Battle Mage who tried to cut him. The wind pushed him forward with such force that the Battle Mage went flying.

Hoseok landed sliced at an oncoming opponent. His blade collided with another. The Battle Mages pushed against him as hard as he could. Hoseok then dropped his arm and stepped to the side, allowing the blade to strike to go past him into the ground. He then raised his blade to the Battle Mages neck. The Battle Mage surrendered and Hoseok let him go.

In no time at all, he sweeped through them one by one, weaving through them and striking with such power that they were completely overwhelmed. Hitman Bang had stood up now and was watching young Hoseok move in awe.

There were only three Battle Mages left. Hoseok charged into the three of them. He blocked the two blades coming from the sides with his daggers as he sent a kick to the Battle Mage in the middle. He then began to dodge the incoming attacks from the remaining two. He found an opening and struck decisively at one of the Battle Mages, cutting him in the stomach and kicking him backwards.

With just the last remaining Battle Mage, Hoseok sent out waves of attacks, furiously hitting him, pushing the Battle Mage backwards. The Battle Mage was completely terrified being faced with such a powerful warrior. As Hoseok made one final strike, bypassing his opponent's blade and getting close to his chest, the remaining Battle Mage was struck down. Hoseok had taken out more than three quarters of the competitors by himself. There was no one left.

There was no point in there being a finals match. He had dominated the competition. The judge slowly recovered and moved forward.

"W..We h-have a winner. Please introduce yourself."

Hoseok looked over at the judge and smiled happily. He moved over gleefully and stood beside the judge in front of the tent where Hitman Bang, Namjoon, Hun-cheol and Ikje were. He bowed to them and lifted his left hand.

"Jung Hoseok. 17 years old. Underground Battle Mage. I'm your Hope. I'm your Angel. Codename: J-Hope."
